It made me more conscious of getting older, but it also made me wonder what kind if Scotland my great granddaughter will inherit.\r\n\r\nMy main reason for voting YES in next year's referendum is to build a better Scotland and a better world so that future generations live in a fairer society than what we have today, but I also want to ensure a fair deal for my own age group, most of whom are worse off than me and are rightly seeking assurances about what an independent Scotland will mean for them.\r\n\r\nCan we afford to be independent?\r\nScotland currently contributes 9.9% of UK taxation and receives 9.3% of UK public expenditure. We spend a lower share of our national wealth on pensions expenditure. We spend a lower share of our national wealth on pensions and benefits than the UK as a whole. These figures indicate that better pensions are certainly affordable in an independent Scotland.\r\n\r\nWill pensioners be better off in the UK or an independent Scotland?\r\nCompare how the Scottish Parliament has treated pensioners to Westminster. It is better to judge politicians on track records and not just promises. I was a labour MP when Harold Wilson's Government introduced the link between pensions, prices and earning so that the state pension was increased annually in line with the increase in price or earnings, whichever was the greater."}}]
